The four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$-parameter arising from top and bottom quark loops are computed. Specifically we evaluate the missing ``non-singlet'' piece. Using algebraic methods the amplitude is reduced to a set of…
QCD corrections to the electroweak one-loop result for the partial width $\Gamma(H\rightarrow b\bar{b})$ are studied. For the decay channel into bottom quarks the rate is affected by a virtual top quark through electroweak interactions. The…
We study the incorporation of QCD effects in the basic electroweak corrections \drcar, \drcarw, and \dr. They include perturbative \Ord{\alpha\alpha_s} contributions and $t\bar{t}$ threshold effects. The latter are studied in the resonance…
The heavy quark self-energy in nonrelativistic lattice QCD is calculated to $O(\alpha_s)$ in perturbation theory. An action which includes all spin-independent relativistic corrections to order $v^2$, where $v$ is the typical heavy quark…
The decay B_s -> mu^+ mu^- in the Standard Model is generated by the well-known W-box and Z-penguin diagrams that give rise to an effective quark-lepton operator Q_A at low energies. We compute QCD corrections of order alpha_s^2 to its…
A new framework to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in general ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions and…
We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of three-quark operators, which appear in the low energy effective Lagrangian of the nucleon decay, for $O(a)$-improved quark action and gauge action including six-link loops. This calculation…
We discuss an application of QCD sum rules to the heavy baryons $\Lambda_Q$ and $\Sigma_Q$. The predictions for the masses of heavy baryons, residues and Isgur-Wise function are presented. The new results on two loop anomalous dimensions of…
A novel approach to study electroweak physics at one-loop level in generic ${\rm SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y}$ theories is introduced. It separates the 1-loop corrections into two pieces: process specific ones from vertex and box contributions,…
The complete expression of the heavy quark-antiquark potential up to order $1/m^2$ is known from QCD in terms of Wilson loop expectation values. We use that expression and a mapping, assumed to be valid at large distances, between Wilson…
In the heavy quark limit, properties of heavy mesons and doubly heavy baryons are related by heavy quark-diquark symmetry. This problem is reanalyzed in the framework of Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD). We introduce a novel method for deriving…
The heavy quark effective field theory Lagrangian is renormalized to order 1/m^2. Our technique eliminates operators that vanish by the equation of motion by continuously redefining the heavy quark fields during renormalization. It is…
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we compute the leading double-logarithmic corrections of order alpha_s^3 ln^2(1/alpha_s) to the heavy-quark-antiquark bound-state wave function at the origin, which determines the production and…
In the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model we derive the two-loop QCD corrections to the scalar quark contributions to the electroweak precision observables entering via the rho parameter. A very compact expression is derived for…
We calculate four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$ parameter with a non-vanishing $b$ quark mass. At three loops, it was observed that elliptic integrals contribute to this observable. This prompts the question of which…
Higgs boson pair production in the massless quark-antiquark channel proceeds at leading order (LO) via electroweak boson loops. We calculate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to this process. For the corresponding two-loop…
The vacuum polarization functions $\Pi(q^2)$ of charged and neutral gauge bosons which arise from top and bottom quark loops lead to important shifts in relations between electroweak parameters which can be measured with ever-increasing…
Recently exact results for the complete electroweak two-loop contributions to the effective weak mixing angle were published. This paper illustrates the techniques used for this computation, in particular the methods for evaluating the loop…
By analogy with pNRQCD, we construct Effective Field Theories suitable to describe the heavy-quark sector of baryons made of two and three heavy quarks. A long-standing discrepancy between the hyperfine splitting of doubly heavy baryons…
The effective renormalizable theory describing electromagnetic and strong interactions of quarks of five light flavors ($n_f = 5$ QCD$\times$QED) is considered as a low-energy limit of the full Standard Model. Two-loop relation between the…
